It might be best to translate so that the reader understands that other people helped Solomon do this. Alternate translation: "King Solomon's men made" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-synecdoche]])

# Six hundred shekels

Because the word "shekels" does not appear here in the Hebrew text, some modern versions assume instead the unit of bekah, which was equivalent to only a half shekel. Any version making this assumption would signal a metric equivalent of about three kilograms.
